Abstract |
|
Adulteration is a global concern and developing countries at a higher risk associated with it, due to lack of monitoring and policies. This adulteration can pose serious health hazards leading to fatal diseases and a decrease in its quality. Adulteration usually refers to mixing other matter of an inferior and sometimes harmful quality with food or drink intended to be sold. As a result of adulteration, food or drink becomes impure and unfit for human consumption. Here the monitoring of liquid adulteration particularly that of milk is done by setting a limited range of the specific gravity of milk and maintaining temperature corrections at various temperature points to obtain an accurate specific gravity reading. In this manner, one parameter of the adulteration of milk will be distinguished from pure milk. |
